I Am A Reality (Free verse) by Skamper
I am but a wish a wisp of what once was a vaporous visitation a delusion wrapped in gauze an illusion for your thoughts the repetition of symbols the beat that escapes your feet - I am the sinner - the guest who arrives late for dinner unlike the clone I do stand alone and I wait to listen for raindrops as they glisten on foolish laughter taking too many risks for chances are - you inspire me even desire me I stir the wind as I ripple through her hair you see my playful breath upon the air I am the silent strings that whip, strip and trip when you are unaware I am the blip in bi-polar the twisted thought movie stars should be taller I am the little fear the jump - the start the stilling of your heart just before you panic and become me - Manic

Up the ladder: Escape

i would say this falls into more of a lyric category. i cannot help but hear someone rapping this out.

some interesting thoughts here. not sure yet what i take away from it, so after re-reads, i may change my vote.

well - I'm not totally sure what to make of it myself. Lyrical, I hadn't really thought much about that, except there is a rhythm to becoming manic.

best manic song: Bjork's "violently happy"

Bjork makes me gag, best manic song...Everytime by Butterfingers

I'd agree with Imp, this is lyrical. But less rap, less Bjork and more Emiliana Torrini.

I have no idea who Emiliana Torrini is, worth a listen?
